ComparisonWe know that A Link Between Worlds is very similar to A Link to the Past in a lot of ways. The overworld is nearly identical, and a lot of the enemies and bosses are the same. Even the art styles and music are very similar. But just how close are these two games?

The Bit Block did a video comparison of many screens from the two games, and it’s quite stunning. Hit the jump to see!

Though some sites have expressed disappointment with the art style of A Link Between Worlds, I personally find it to be a wonderful balance between expressing what originated in A Link to the Past and modern graphic styles. I’m definitely looking forward to exploring this version of Hyrule in A Link Between Worlds.

Though I absolutely adore A Link to the Past, from this video I can tell that I’m going to enjoy A Link Between Worlds, especially the controls. Everyone so far has cited its butter-smooth experience, and the side-by-side comparison show it as well as video footage can. I can’t wait to have my own experience in the game.
